Love this. It is fast reliable it has great protection sending you notifications of any risks . I can have guest and give up to three people their individual guest wifi each one with a different password and there is no threat to my main wifi. Although the main has 2g 5g and 6g you can choose smart connection for your devices so that it not only chooses the best option for whatever device is connected to wifi. Use to if your phone was on 2g but printer on 5g you could not print from phone without changing to same as printer but this feature takes care of all that No worries You also get a year protection ( extra protection)on three levels and parental controls if you need to shut your teens internet off or want to protect your little ones from explicit content on devices It also has a link to send to your devices when away from home so you can get the same protection as if At home You also have remote access from anywhere in the world to your router It’s a bit pricey but worth cutting back on that drive through coffee or lunch and make your own to make monthly payments to get this. Especially if you have gamers locks cameras and continue to add smart devices to your home because this will grow with you and it covers large area so you can watch those movies out on your lawn

Easy setup, and very fast speeds. From a 1Gig cable modem ISP, I was able to pull full 1Gig speeds over Wifi on the 6Ghz band on my phone. 600-700 Gig over WiFi on all my devices connected to the 5Ghz band. One thing to note. We have Windows, Android, and IOS devices in my home. I had to turn off "Smart Connect" to get my Apple devices to connect. Smart Connect attempts to connect a device to either 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, or 6Ghz bands depending on the type of device, and it's distance from the router. Apple TV, and Ipads don't like it. Simply turn it off in the Netgear app, and your good to go. Other than that, the router appears to be well built. The connections on the back and interface on the front are easy to access and understand. The app user interface is very easy to use. Although, I think it might be a tiny bit buggy, but it does the job. Our entire home is very internet dependent. We have over 25 devices connected, which includes 6 TV's, an 8 camera NVR, multiple: phones, laptops, tablets and bunch of other devices. The connectivity to all devices has been strong, and stable. Simultaneous streaming doesn't seem to slow this thing down at all. If you have a high demand home network, and want peak performance, this is your answer. Our home is 1,650sqft. The signal from this router goes way past the street in front of our house, and past the back fence of our back yard. I would say this router would work just fine for 2500sqft home. If your home is 3000+ sqft, I would probably go with the Netgear Orbi 970 Mesh system. I put one in my mothers home (two separate buildings on one property), and they rock. They are just much more expensive than this router.

Few things on this router. The range is very good. I have brick home and I get range all the way outside. The router is located on 3rd floor I know it's best to keep it in centralized location but that's where my modem is and don't want to run a wire to 2nd floor. Regardless i get wifi throughout. 5gh band seems to be the strongest through walls but if you're close the 6gh aka wifi 7 is very strong. The 2.4 gh goes through the walls the best but 5gh seems to keep up np. I tried other routers tp link be800 and asus rtb96u and ge800 which by the way had a loud fan and this one gave me the best coverage. Asus came close but I was struggling with good connection in the basement. Rs700s holds the best signal. Set up was easy just take it off auto connect if you planning on connecting the old devices and name it as you had it on previous router and everything else should connect. I have 1gig up and 1 gig down and I get full 1gig on wireless connection on my cell phone. Not many devices have wifi 7. But it does offer wifi6e revere compatability which is good for iPad pro and other electronics that have wifi6 and wifi6e. So far I am happy . The old tp link was giving me 450mbps this gives me full 1gig speed. And holds alot of devices. I think it can handle up to 200 devices but I only have 33 connected. Bottom line ita great router wifi7. The only other router that came close to this is the Asus rtb96u which is large The ge800 tp link is good also but very loud with the built in fan . But if you looking for a good wifi 7 router rs700s I believe is best stand alone router. Next to Asus rtb96u. Hope this helps.

My Google Nest router failed after less than 3 years, so it was time for something else. I tried a couple of Eero routers and an Asus. Wasn't impressed by them so paid more than I planned to get this Netgear RS700S. Glad I did. This thing's a beast. My WiFi now is as fast as my AT&T Fiber. I'll be upgrading T-Mobile's 5G Fiber next month and this router will handle whatever I throw at it for years to come. Expensive purchase, but well worth it.

This router works really well, and the range is impressive. I use it to stream my PC to my iPad Pro M4 through Steam Link, and I’m able to maintain a solid connection even when the router and my iPad are at the farthest points in my house. I can run Steam Link at the “Beautiful” quality setting, and performance is smooth most of the time. That said, it’s not a true Wi-Fi 7 experience since it lacks Multi-Link Operation (MLO), even though it’s marketed as Wi-Fi 7. MLO is supposed to allow devices to use multiple frequency bands simultaneously (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz), which could help reduce the small hiccups that happen when the router switches bands. Overall, performance and coverage are excellent, but it’s missing one of the key Wi-Fi 7 features that would make it feel more future-proof and seamless.

Title: Nighthawk BE19000 Description: This is the first wireless router that I have ever set up. I bought is because I read that it complies with the "no Chinese parts" requirement fro the feds. The setup was super easy, it guided me through every step. It looks like it will be very easy to managed, adn I like the 'guest wifi' function.

Fantastic unit really fast works great

Firmware: 1.0.7.86 Review written: November 26, 2024 I work in IT and have configured various wireless routers over the years, and this post is written from that perspective. The Netgear RS700S is very highly reviewed online, as of 2024 it's one of the top WiFi 7 routers on the market, in the consumer-grade class. Enterprise gear gets much more expensive, but isn't a benefit for us home users. It was released in July 2023, supporting WiFi 7. I waited until November 2024 before purchasing, to replace my old Wifi 5 (802.11ac) router. The reason for waiting so long is many new tech products aren't actually ready on release, as the software will have a lot of bugs only revealed after being on the market. On release, there were multiple bugs that got fixed over time, which can be read about in forums online or in early reviews here. My RS700S is configured in "Access Point" mode, as I already have a main router/firewall to distribute the wired Ethernet connections. The goal was to get very robust WiFi 7 capability, along with previous 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz standards for older devices. The RS700S is actually 3 broadcasters in one unit, supporting those bands. As a quick refresher, the 3 radio frequency bands of wireless have different tradeoffs. The lower the frequency, data transfers slower, but the range is longer. The higher the frequency, data transfers faster, but range is significantly lessened. A wireless "standard" such as WiFi 5, 6, 7, etc. can make use of one or more frequency bands, depending on the standard and settings. 2.4Ghz - Slow, but longest range. Okay for web pages and standard lower-resolution online video, downloads are limited to a few MB/s even with a strong signal. 5Ghz - Much much faster than 2.4Ghz, but *much* shorter range. Larger modern homes (with hollow walls) likely need several access points in a mesh network for adequate connectivity and speed. 6Ghz - Even faster, but shorter range than 5Ghz. Basically a "be in the same room as the WiFi access point, otherwise good luck" technology. The actual range and speed you will get depends on a lot of factors: The speed of your internet, the speed of the WiFi router, the WiFi connection's actual negotiated stable speed, the distance, any walls & materials between you and the router, radio interference, the antennas and hardware speed of your device, and other factors. At every point the connection must be strong to get speed, as the slowest link determines speed. The only device I have right now that supports 6Ghz is my phone, my other devices are 5Ghz, and one older 2.4Ghz device. My RS700S is stable in the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands, and is quicker than my previous WiFi 5 router (which is several years older and less powerful). But my RS700S seems to have a bug in firmware version 1.0.7.86 that causes issues with the 6Ghz band, which could result in dropouts. I am getting intermittent IP traffic issues when using the 6GHz band, which manifests as phone applications pausing when trying to load data. Signal is okay-ish (4 of 5 WiFi bars, -60dbm) and data will continuously flow at speed, but then for a few seconds stop, then flow again. I am about 15 feet away, with one hollow wall between. I do not get this issue on the other bands, and have been using the 5GHz band mainly. From research online, 6Ghz dropouts seem to happen in firmware version 1.0.7.86 but not in prior firmware versions. Firmware needs to be tested extensively before release, and there should be standardized testing in place at Netgear's lab to catch this. Just test it a bit longer before release! This is an expensive device, and I've had much cheaper WiFi access points over the years that just worked. I do not want a refund or a swap, only updated (and thoroughly tested) firmware.

Rendimiento: Tenía un AP Unifi AP AC Pro y todo mejoró estrepitosamente, rango en la misma planta, velocidad de respuesta de conexión de todos los dispositivos. La cámara que tengo en la entrada emite de inmediato la imagen, antes demoraba unos segundos, pese a que es de 2.4ghz Estabilidad: No es necesario reiniciar el router, trabaja sin problemas todo el tiempo. Sólo recomiendo que en los celulares se deshabilite la opción de MAC address aleatoria, tal como lo indica Netgear. Estética: Es un poco grande, pero es muy bonito, combina con cualquier decoración, eso en comparación con las arañas gamer que tienen las antenas externas. Precio: Si vale la pena si quieres lo mejor del momento, por lo menos debería ser útil la tecnología hasta dentro de 5 años, sin embargo, creo que hay opciones nuevas con rendimiento aceptable a menos por menos de la mitad de precio. Conclusión: Actualizando firmware y configurando todo debidamente es un excelente router.

funciono solamente por cerca de dos horas y su cobertura y velociddad, sobresaliente. Después, simplemente se apago para no volver a encender. Iniciamos la devolución por tal motivo.
